About USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 Gen 1
USB 3.0 is also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1. This connectivity standard offers speeds up to 5
Gbps.
About installation
Depending on the version of operating system that you’re currently running and
whether your network connection is active, the docking station might install
automatically or download the proper drivers when the dock is connected to an
available USB port on the host system.
If you receive a prompt to automatically install the driver, complete the on-screen
instructions to complete the installation.
Install the driver
1. On your computer, use a web browser to navigate to http://www.startech.com/
USB3DOCKH2DP.
2. Click the Support tab.
3. Click the driver file and complete the on-screen instructions to download the file.
4. Browse to the location of the driver file that you downloaded and do one of the following:
If the operating system that you’re using is a version of Windows, run the DisplayLink “exe” install file.
If the operating system that you’re using is a version of Mac OS, run the DisplayLink “dmg” install file.
5. Follow any on-screen instructions to complete the driver installation process.
Note: You may be asked to restart your host laptop(s) to complete the installation.
Install the hardware
1. Select the appropriate regional clip for your region and connect the power adapter to an AC electrical outlet.
2. Connect the power adapter to the DC input on the docking station.
3. Attach the provided USB 3.0 cable to the USB 3.0 port on the docking station and then to an available USB 3.0 port on the host laptop.

About the docking station ports
The four USB ports located at the back of the docking station are standard USB 3.0
throughput ports. When the docking station is connected to a host laptop, these ports
provide a trickle charge to a selection of devices.
The side USB 3.0 port is compliant with Battery Charging Specification Revision 1.2 (BC
1.2), which means that you can use the port to connect and charge a device faster than
a traditional standard USB 3.0 port.
This side USB 3.0 port can fast-charge a connected device, even when the docking
station isn’t connected to a host laptop. When the docking station is connected to a
host laptop, the side USB 3.0 port functions as a Charging Downstream Port (CDP),
which has simultaneous charge and sync capabilities.
Charge a device
If you’re only using the side USB 3.0 port to charge a device, a connection to a host
laptop isn’t required.
• To charge a device, connect a device to the USB 3.0 port located on the side of the
docking station.
Note: The side USB 3.0 port can only fast-charge connected devices that comply to
USB Battery Charging Specification Revision 1.2.
Charge an iPad with a 30-pin dock connector
The following steps only apply to an iPad with a 30-pin connector. An iPad that uses
a Lightning connector can be charged using the USB port located on the side of the
docking station.
1. Make sure that the host laptops are not connected to the docking station.
2. Connect the iPad to the USB 3.0 port located on the side of the docking station.
Note: If you connect a host laptop to the docking station while you’re charging a firstgeneration iPad, the iPad will switch to data sync mode and stop charging. To switch
back to charging mode, disconnect the host laptop and the iPad from the docking
station. Then connect the iPad to the docking station again.
Configure a display device
Use DisplayLink to configure a display device
1. Connect a display device (monitor, projector, and so on) to the docking station.
2. If necessary, to display all of the available icons, click the Show hidden icons arrow Instruction Manual
4
on the toolbar.
3. Click the DisplayLink icon.
4. Click StarTech USB3DOCKH2DP.
5. In the drop-down list, click a configurable option.
Each display is configured independently from all of the connected displays.
Note: If you’re using a computer that’s running Windows 7 or Windows 8, you can also
adjust a display device on the Display Settings screen.
About the display options
The following information describes the display configurations available using the
DisplayLink utility.
Extend
Select this option to display an extension of your active Windows desktop on the
display that’s connected to the docking station. When you select this option, you can
view more applications or documents at the same time. The display is extended in the
direction it was the last time that the display was in Extend mode.
For more control, click Extend To and select one of the options. This puts the display
into Extend mode, and places the display to the right or left, above, or below the
primary display.
Mirror
Select this option to display a duplication of the primary display on the display that’s
connected to the docking station. The resolution, color depth, and refresh rate of the
primary display are replicated on the connected display.
Note: When the connected monitor uses a different specification than the primary
display, the system’s primary graphics adapter scales all of the settings to a lower
specification to maintain a uniform aspect ratio.
Extend To
Select this option to specify the physical location of the display that’s connected to the
docking station in relation to the system’s primary monitor.
Screen Resolution
Select this option to change the resolution on the display that’s connected to the
docking station.
Screen Rotation
Select this option to change the orientation in which the screen is viewed. The two
most common orientation types are portrait and landscape.

Set as Main Monitor
Select this option to specify the display that’s connected to the docking station as the
primary display. The primary display shows all of the system notifications, and takes
priority with applications.
Off
Select this option to disable the display that’s connected to the docking station.
Use Mac OS to configure a display device
If you’re using a computer that’s running a version of Mac OS, you can adjust a display
device in the Displays section of the Mac System Preferences menu.
Use Mac OS to change the display mode
By default, the docking station will be set up as an extended display.
• Do one of the following:
• To change the display to Mirror mode, on the Arrangement screen on a
display, select the Mirror Display check box.
• To change the display to Extend mode, on the Arrangement screen on a
display, clear the Mirror Display check box.
• To use Extended and Mirror modes simultaneously, clear the Mirror Display
check box. On the Arrangement screen, press and hold Cmd + Alt, and then
drag and drop the display that you want to mirror over the primary display
(indicated with a white bar). Repeat this step for all of the displays that you
want to mirror.
Use Mac OS to change the primary display
Changing the primary display affects where new windows appear.
• To change which of the connected displays is the primary display, on the current
primary display, click the white menu bar and drag it to the display that you wish to
make the primary one.
